Governors Richardson has Issued a re-
.quisition on the Governor of Georgia for
Stone and McNally, charged with robbie.
~ in connection with the recent kidnap.
ping of Blackwood in Aiken County.
The Grand Jury of that County has in.
dicted these men for kidnapping and for
robbery, and as Gov. Gordon refuses to
give them uptonithe requisition as to the
first charge, it has been followed BY the
recent demand The Governor has not
yet acted on this requisition, but it is
generally thought he will decline to
deliver the parties up for trial, Gov.
Gordon seems to think that the fact of a
mans having committed a crime, is a
sufficient excuse for other men to commit
crimes in capturing them. AT least he
acts that way. There is, however, one
redeeming feature about the matter. If
they are criminals, they are on the Geor.
gia side. As long as they will stay there,
South Carolina is safe from their depre-
dations.

The News and Courier advocates the
formation of anti-treating societies, and
in support Of its theory advances the fol-
lowing argument in the way ofstatistics:
] According to the most trustworthy
statistics published, the annual consump.
.tion of domestic and imported distilled
spirits averages u, ,199, $50 gallons. The
AMOUNT of beer consumed averages about
,609, ,705, 1857 gallons year. The import
ed and domestic wines drunk annually
average 23,16S,425 gallons, making a
total annual liquor consumption of 708,-
06S,7S2 gallons. A careful estimate
places the cost Of this at SILL, ,227, 1888.
The same authority calculates that the
drinking population numbers Il, ,925, All, /,
making an annual average cost to each
person of $$47.75: ea Is
The Meaos and Courier then argues in
favor Of reducing these figures by anti
treating societies, but we think these fig.
ures prove too much. The figures taken
from the census show that in 1879 the
total value of all farms products raised in
the United States was $2,2l2540, 1927,
which presents the alarming fact that
one-third Of all the farm products in the
United States are consumed in strong
drink every year. By the census of that
year the cotton crop was 5,755 1859 bales,
worth in the neighborhood of $24O, ,000,-
OO0. The wheat crop was 459.483, 1877
bushels, worth about s465, 100000. That
is. the, annual consumption of strong
drink is on, an average equal to the whole
cotton and wheat crops of the United
States each year. These liquor figures,
it must be remembered, come from an
anti-prohibition paper, while the pro.
duction figures come from the United
States census. twill, therefore, be seen
that the waste in liquor consumption is
annually an enormous amount. Merely
stopping the habit of treating will not
reach the evil. The tippling saloons
must be closed up. To stop the man.
ufacture and sale of spirituous liquors
would savetbi country over SILL, 900, 900,
or more than $1,000 year for every
man, woman and child in the. United
States. The country would be better,
happier and more prosperous if this
drain on its resources could be stopped.
Prohibition, backed by the solid facts of
the figures, is growing rapidly throughout
the Union.

"he Piedmont Exposition to be held
inlAtlanta during. the month Of October,
promises to be one Of the greatest and
) most useful exhibitions that this. section
of the country has ever had. It is
intended to show the successful results of
agriculture. manufacturing, mining, me.
chanics, art and the products ofall kinds
ofskill, as displayed in exhibits gathered
from; the Piedmont belt Of the Southern
States especially, though exhibits will be
received from other States also. The
city of Atlanta has purchased the
grounds, and is erecting buildings which
are expected to aurpass the Cotton Expo
sition in that city some years ago. The
exposition:is expected to be annual in the
future, and il. starts off With the finest
prospect ofsuccess. Every State should
take an interest in it, and particularly
Virginia, the Carolinas and Tennessee,
whose interests in common with those of
Georgia it is intended primarily to pro-
mote. We hope the people of Anderson
County will endeavor to have many
exhibits of their agriculture and other
industries present at this exposition, and
along with the exhibits all who can do
SO should attend in person, to encourage
and assist soimportant an undertaking.
Great crowds are expected to attend, and
wide publicity has been given to its
attractive features. President Cleveland
and part Of his cabinet will be there
during the exhibit. No more enjoyable
trip can be arranged for the money it
will cost, than visit to Atlanta during
the Piedmont Exposition this Fall.

County Of Anderson will form an anti.
treating society on the 10th of August,

formed on the idea that the best way to
stop treating is BY shutting up the treat

way to stop treating is by shutting up

We are constantly met by the assertion
of the anti prohibitionists that the labor.
ing men of this County will vote against
prohibition. We have no doubt that
they are greatly mistaken in their hopes
in this direction, for the laboring men of
Anderson County are, as class, intelli-
gent, honest, moral and judicious. They
are as capable of forming correct conclu.
ssions as any other class, and when
formed, they act up to them. We are
confident that large numbers of them, a
good majority, will concur with Mr.. Pow.
derly, the head and leader of the labor.
ing men in the United States in oppos.
ing with all his might the whole whisky
business. Ina recent lecture he says:
II know that, in refusing to even touch
"a drop of strong drink, 1 was and am
right. In refusing to treat another TO that
aohieh 7 do not believe to be good for may.
self to drink, Iknov Tam right. In refus.
ing to associate with men who get drunk,
I know I am right. In not allowing a
rum seller to gain admittance into the
Order Of the knights of Labor, I know ]
am right. In advising our associates not
to rent halls or meeting rooms over
drinking places, I know that am right.
I have done this from the day my voice
was first heard in the council halls of our
|. Order. Ny position on the question of
temperance is right. am determined to
maintain, and will not alter it one jot or
title" .4 -.
. The laboring man who uses liquor
spends his money for something which
does not benefit him, when he might
procure some necessary or comfort that
would be Of permanent value to him and
his family. Mr.. Powderly's advice is
intended to promote the moral, physical,
intellectual and financial welfare of the
laboring classes, and in our opinion the
result of the election on prohibition in
this County on the sixteenth of August
will show that a majority of the working
men in Anderson County agree with him.

visited Paris some years ago considerable
difficulty was experienced in hunting up
the national anthem of Brazil, and it
is to guard against similar trouble that
the great war minister has armed the

wish somebody who could would tell
me what special fascination there is in a
meager lunch, with tea or coffee, for peo-
pie who spend hundreds of dollars a week
to run their home tables; that even the
wealthiest and best folks in society will
pull and push and almost tear each
others clothes off to get cup of poor
tea, or thin ham sandwich, or a half
dozen raw oysters-sacrificing breeding
self respect and all the usual courtesies
due from one individual to another on
such occasions for this modicum of re-
freshment? 1t may seem ridiculous, but
it is nevertheless true, that some ladies
have tasted for forty-eight hours TO get
their appetitcs in trim for an afternoon
tea or an evening entertainment where
they expected a particularly good table.
And when the evening came these

sending their male friends to iostle and

in the privacy of their own houses, sip
their tea or surround the slippery oyster
